Everybody loves a Ford Mustang! Everybody! Well everybody accept me… but I’ll get to that at later date.

We probably get asked for Ford Mustang hire more than any other vehicle in the World… its so popular we’ve actually taken the time to look through our pool of data to find the actual number of Ford Mustangs we’ve rented this year.

Firstly lets look at where our customers are collecting Ford Mustangs from from;

A whooping 73% of our customers who got Mustang’s collected within Florida or California, and when broken down even further 67% of these vehicles were collected from either Orlando International Airport or San Francisco International Airport.

Now lets take a look at which suppliers are actually providing the Ford Mustang.

Dtag (Dollar Rent A Car and Thrifty Car Rental) make up almost 75% of all Ford Mustangs provided to our suppliers, National Car Rental providing the least based on the amount of time they’ve been up for sale.

Alternative vehicles offered instead of the Ford Mustang are as follows.

The Chrysler 200 being the highest percentage of vehicle used as the alternative, however what did surprise me was the amount of Camaro’s being collected! Please note that the vehicles described above are not a guarantee of the model you will receive upon collection.

So have you guessed how many Ford Mustang’s were collected in 2012?

In 2012 usrentacar.co.uk customers collected over 2500 Ford Mustang’s within the USA!! This number represents just over half of the total amount of convertibles booked and considering that the Convertible isn’t even our most popular vehicle I think you’ll agree this is a massive figure.

I think the simple answer is yes, its an iconic vehicle with history stretching back to the 1960′s. The Mustang myth is known for pushing the boundaries of not only power and speed but design…

So what will the next wave of Ford Mustang’s look like?

Well rumour has it that the new design for the Ford Mustang will hit our roads in 2015. The look is being described as “radical”. What we do know is that the 2015 Mustang will replace the traditional solid rear axle suspension with an independent rear suspension, and that an EcoBoost engine option will be available, likely as a turbocharged 4-cylinder, as well as a smaller-displacement, high-output V6 (code-named Nano) and V8 engine.

Now to the perceived styling… experts believe the Mustang will based on the Ford concept car, the Evos and will look something like this…

So tell me, what do you think. Is this the Florida car hire experience you’ve been dreaming of…?
